When a staff has been through too much...
the first thing that breaks is connection.
I’ve walked into too many buildings and organizations where the same story was playing out:
- Years of leadership turnover.
- Confusion about expectations.
- Initiative fatigue.
- A handful of deeply committed staff carrying the emotional load for everyone else.
- Unresolved conflicts that have calcified into avoidance.
- A culture where people stop speaking up because they don’t feel safe — or seen.
And under all of that?
A staff that desperately wants to reconnect.
I once partnered with a school where teachers said they felt like “separate islands.” Turnover was high. Trust was low. Even the most dedicated educators weren’t sure they could keep going.
But here’s the part people miss:
When you rebuild relationships, when you give people structured ways to speak, hear one another, repair harm, clear confusion, and realign…
everything changes.
This isn’t about fixing people.
It’s about fixing the conditions people are trying to work in. Creating a supportive atmosphere encourages collaboration and innovation. As teams begin to engage in open dialogues, they not only address underlying issues but also cultivate a culture of empathy. It’s in this environment that creativity flourishes, and individuals can thrive together, united in a common purpose. By prioritizing these practices, we empower everyone to contribute meaningfully, turning isolated experiences into a shared journey toward growth.
Leaders tell me the same things again and again:
“I want my staff to feel connected.”
“I want us rowing in the same direction.”
“I want a culture that supports conflict instead of avoiding it.”
“I want clarity. Consistency. Something that lasts.”
“I want someone to guide this so it doesn’t fall apart when things get hard.”You don’t need another initiative.
You need an implementation partner who knows how to help you build a system that is relational, restorative, and rooted in real human needs.A SIMPLER, SUPPORTED PATH TO IMPLEMENTING RESTORATIVE PRACTICES
Most schools try to implement RP like this:
- one-off PD
- hoping staff will “buy in”
- sending someone to a workshop
- trying to run circles without a strategy
- putting out fires instead of being proactive
- relying on a single hero teacher or AP
- no alignment across grades, departments, or teams
And then everyone wonders why it doesn’t stick!
Implementation requires structure, clarity, and sustained relational leadership.
That’s exactly what the RLT program provides.
The RLT Implementation Guidance Program helps your school/organization:
✔ Build an aligned, multidisciplinary Restorative Leadership Team
✔ Create a shared vision, norms, and commitments
✔ Establish predictable, sustainable structures for RP
✔ Develop practices that reduce conflict and burnout
✔ Increase connection across staff, students, and families
✔ Strengthen leadership capacity at every level
✔ Integrate relational and trauma-informed practices into your daily operations
✔ Respond to conflict restoratively — even the hard stuff
✔ Build systems that LAST long after the partnership ends
You don't have to figure this out alone.
You get a guide.
This work succeeds when someone holds the container — the pacing, the clarity, the relational tone, the follow-through, the coaching, the modeling, and the accountability.That’s what I do.
As a restorative practitioner, circle-keeper, trauma-informed facilitator, and consultant who has worked inside schools and organizations across New York, I bring:
Relational Leadership
Warmth, curiosity, and a deep respect for human complexity.
Trauma-Informed Expertise
A grounded, compassionate understanding of how stress, change, and conflict affect individuals and systems.
Restorative Depth
Not buzzwords.
Not posters.
Not the flavor of the month.
But a lineage of practice rooted in human dignity, connection, and repaired relationships.Guidance You Can Trust
